What is Health Coaching?

"Health Coaching is the bridge that takes you from wanting something to achieving it!" Functional Medicine Health Coaches work alongside their clients collaboratively to bridge the gap between where they are are where they want to be with an individualized plan taking each clients unique health needs into consideration."Health Coaches help people to change when change is hard!" Each session is client centered, meaning each clients concerns, goals, and questions regarding their own personal health will all be discussed and prioritized while also creating a plan to encourage movement, stress reduction, better sleep habits, and prioritizing nutrition.

What does a Health Coach focus on?

Strengthening Immunity

Nutrient Dense Healing Foods

Functional Nutrition:

Understanding that food is medicine is the core to what functional nutrition is all about! When the body is supported nutritionally and given all that it needs it then possesses the ability to heal and repair itself.

Mind/Body Medicine:

Mind/body medicine is the field of medicine concerned with the ways that our minds, thoughts, and emotions influence the body and our physical health. Learning to implement stress reduction techniques in our everyday life will create and sustain healing and growth.

Positive Psychology:

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of individuals unique character strengths to help them to thrive leading meaningful and fulfilling lives. A Functional Medicine Health Coach will help to cultivate each clients unique character strengths to help create this kind of life so that both body and mind are supported!

SMART Goals:

Functional Medicine Health Coaches come alongside their clients to collaboratively create goals for each client that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive...meaning I will help both create, hold you accountable, and support you along the way to meet your health and wellness goals.

During our one-on-one sessions we will at times zoom out and take a birds eye view of your life and at other times zoom in to focus on specific areas you'd like to make changes in.

A Functional Medicine Physician will investigate your health by getting an all encompassing picture of your lifestyle, environment, and nutrition habits followed up by laboratory analysis and diagnostic testing for further investigation. As each facet of the individual patients health is addressed they are offered support to regain a life of health and wellness. A Functional Medicine Health Coach will bridge the gap between what clients know they need to do to be healthy and the intrinsic motivation they need to actually make and sustain those changes.

Can You Relate? Are You...

Tirelessly fighting against your body & feeling pain, fatigue, and depleted constantly?

Conflicted about all the nutrition facts and what is/isn't healthy while battling Lyme?

Overwhelmed by your diagnosis, all the information your doctor gave you, & how to implement it in order to heal?

Not sure how to detox and support your body in order to make progress?

Feeling like your health trials are bringing you down,and draining all the joy out your life leaving you hopeless?

Looking for the support of someone who's been there done that?

My Approach:

I believe in taking into consideration every facet of your life including your environment, support system, diet, mindset, movement & exercise, gut health, detoxification modalities, & more. We are mind, body & spirit & all must be addressed in order to heal.

I believe in digging down the the root cause of illness rather than bandaid quick fixes. The body has an innate ability to heal when we take away that which is hindering health & add the right tools to support it.

I believe in a whole lifestyle approach to health with the perspective that one's mindset is crucial to anyone seeking lasting lifestyle change providing an atmosphere that prioritizes positivity, self compassion, and celebrating what is working right.

I believe in a whole foods plant based (prioritizing plant foods) diet rather than calorie counting, fad diets, or quick fixes to support overall health. That being said, we each have unique health needs that must be taken into consideration.

I believe in empowering you to tune into what your body needs and is telling you. No one knows your body like you do and your body speaks to you everyday.

I believe in approaching each client with a nonjudgmental empathetic perspective and see my role as the facilitator helping to build the scaffolding of a life that prioritizes healing.

Create a tick-safe zone at home:

Remove leaf litter, clear tall brush and grass around your home, and mow your lawn frequently.
Keep playground equipment, decks, and patios away from yard edges and trees.
If you live near a wooded area, place a 3 ft wide barrier of gravel or wood chips between the areas.
Put up a fence to keep unwanted animals out.
Keep your yard free of potential hiding place for ticks (eg. furniture, mattresses)
Stack wood neatly and in a dry area.

Outdoors safety tips:

Wear a hat, light clothing, and long pants tucked into your hiking boots or socks
Avoid DEET due to its toxicity!
Apply tick repellent on your skin (Bite blocker, Repel lemon eucalyptus, Badger anti-bug balm/spray, Avon skin so soft are all safe repellents you can put on your skin)
Apply 0.5% permethrin on clothing to repel mosquitos and ticks.
Walk on trails and avoid sitting on logs or leaning against trees.
Do daily body checks for ticks after coming indoors. And if you find a tick, remember that just because a tick carries Borrelia and bites you, it does NOT mean that you will get Lyme disease. A tick bite alerts you to take the first aide methods listed below.
Always check your pets for ticks when they come in from being outdoors.

Remember, the goal is to PREVENT Lyme disease and co-infections.

However, if you do contract Lyme disease, if caught early and treated appropriately does NOT have to go on to be a devastating chronic illness. Awareness is key!

So what happens if you get a tick bite?

The following 6 steps are summarized from Dr. Alexis Chesney’s book, “Preventing Lyme and Other Tick-Borne Diseases.”

Step 1: Immediately Remove and Identify the Tick

Use the O’Tom Tick Twister to remove the tick, identify the tick, and put it in the plastic bag.

Step 2: Apply First Aid

-After you remove the tick, place 2 drops of Andrographis tincture on the tick bite wound.

-Take homeopathic Ledum palustre 30c after a tick bite to encourage healing. (3 pellets under your tongue 3x daily x 3 days)

–Apis mellifica 30c may be added if the tick bite causes a rash or localized swelling which feels hot to the touch, and relieved by cold compresses. Dosage is the same as Ledum palustre.

-After a tick bite, please report the rash to a medical professional.

It is very important to acknowledge that no rash does not mean no disease!

Step 3: Have the Tick Tested for Pathogens

Send the tick to www.tickreport.com or www.ticknology.org for testing.

The turnaround time for both of these labs is around 3 days from receipt of the tick.

Step 4: Begin the Herbal Prophylactic Protocol

For adults, take 1 teaspoon of the Deer Tick Bite Formula (DTBF) in water 3 times a day,

30 minutes before breakfast, lunch, and dinner, for 30 days.

While it is safe to use DTBF with children, the extremely bitter taste is often a deterrent. There are usually more palatable herbal formulas available, some in glycerin base.

Step 5: Watch for Symptoms

Immediately report signs or symptoms of tick-borne diseases to a medical professional.

Step 6: Get Tested (Maybe)

Consult with a medical professional.

Are antibiotics warranted?

Most Lyme-literate practitioners believe that a single dose of doxycycline has never been effective in preventing Lyme disease.

At least a 3-week course of antibiotics is needed to ensure that you kill Borrelia in all of its life forms. By stopping antibiotics too early, you may not kill the Borrelia that is hiding out in its dormant cyst form and waiting for just the right moment to reactivate and convert to its free-floating spirochete form to cause trouble at a future date.

The antibiotic chosen may be herbal, pharmaceutical, or a combination of both.

For adults, a 3-week course of doxycycline may be recommended. There are also alternative antibiotics such as amoxicillin, azithromycin, or cefuroxime if sun sensitivity develops with doxycycline.

Be aware that chronic use of antibiotics can cause fungal overgrowth impacting your gut bacteria..

Herbal anti-microbials targeted to Lyme and co-infections can also be used alone or in combination with pharmaceutical antibiotics. I prefer using herbal anti-microbials due to persister forms & dna transformation of lyme disease that could promote antibiotic resistance. There is also less relapse when using herbs.

Stephen Buhner, a highly regarded Lyme herbalist, recommends the herb Astragalus to boost one’s immune system and prevent Lyme transmission.

After a new tick bite, he recommends the adult dosage of 3000mg daily for 30 days.

For prevention, if you live in a highly endemic Lyme area and don’t want to be on antibiotics for the entire season, Buhner recommends that adults take Astragalus 1000mg daily.

For a 1 year old, you can add 10 drops of the tincture to their diet three times a day. Older children can be given larger doses, around 1/8 tsp, mixed in food daily.

Immediately after a tick bite, Buhner has also found applying a topical paste made of Andrographis tincture and green clay to be helpful in preventing infection.

If you or your child gets bitten by a tick, please discuss what anti-microbial regimen is best with your physician or a Lyme-literate practitioner. (ilads.org)
